Participants were new users of contraceptives; 120 each of women initiating COCs (group I) and those initiating other forms of nonhormonal contraceptives (group II) were recruited and monitored over a 6-month period. Serial lipid profile, blood pressure, and atherogenic risk for cardiovascular diseases were measured at recruitment (start) and scheduled follow-up clinic visits at 3 months and 6 months for all participants. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS (version 21.0) and P value &lt; 0.05 was considered significant.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In all, 225 participants (111 COC-users, 114 nonCOC-users) that completed the study were aged 18 to 49 years. There was a statistically significant increase in the diastolic blood pressure (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001), Low Density Lipoprotein- Cholesterol (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.038) and higher atherogenic risk (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.001) among COC-users compared to nonCOC-users.
